evening!
I knew I'd forgotten to greet someone, hellloooo carimoo delighted to hear that things are going well with you and carib-bean are doing well. That's a late scan though, I would have been going out of my mind! Did you get a nuchal scan or was it beyond the dates for it?

mamap that pamper session sounds just the ticket. I'm quite jealous. (There is, of course, nothing stopping me doing the same...just the lure of the sofa is too strong).

I'm very cross. I ordered some B-complex vitamins and some progesterone cream to try to prop up my luteal phase. They haven't arrived. I am trying to be generous and patient and not think that they've ripped me off, but if they don't arrive tomorrow I will be calling them. Grr. and small wibble DON'T THEY KNOW MY LUTEAL PHASE COULD START ANY TIME!!!!!

Oh bugger, just seen your post Inbetweener, I'm really sorry - that waiting to find out whether it's just late developing or not is agonising. Sorry you're going through this, horrible.

Ah Emoo in this case and this case only I'll say really sorry about the BFP. I think once you've stopped bleeding you should be fine physically. Be aware that some of us did find sex the first time after MC emotionally painful - I burst into tears straight after. But it was also something that, as you say, made me feel more like 'me' again so not all bad.

pinkFF Wow, I didn't realise they would get results of sperm analysis so quickly - that's amazing. That all sounds really positive though, even just to have someone looking after you and checking you through a cycle. I guess the test they do after ovulation will be progesterone level to check you did ovulate?

Nicks a poor effort is better than none. God that's harsh. Twice around ovulation is about what we manage most times

CBFM gave me only one day of high (yesterday) before heading to peak today - talk about cutting it fine this time . Anyway...we'll see how we go, feeling reasonably chilled this cycle. I think being more straightforward with DH helped because now I don't feel like it's all down to me.

pink I'll have one of those party bags lovely So glad you found a lovely doc - all sounds very positive. MrPink impressive!! That should remove any guilt from dragging him along.

Loola have to agree Nix very post-feminist of you!! I'm too scared to use ff if it is going to comment on my swi performance - hmmm technique suspect, legs in wrong position, too few beats per minute!!!

moo I was on an american website recently and it was like a walking advert for pre-seed - they swear by it. I've never use it as I am a grapefruit addict - I know very odd- but this thread has certainly explained why dh thinks I am always up for it hmmm TMI

Izz Nix it is brilliant that your cycles seem to be coming under control - hopefully this will result in beans shortly and at least means the turnaround time on cycles is shortening!

Ar god can you imagine Ff and what it would say?

Pissing self at your comments tho:)

Can you imagine....

'Damn girl ain't got no rhythm?!' obviously been swigging too many gf cocktails.

Could have given me a c for effort surely?

Bee glad not just me! Dh is now thinking about sperm meets egg so that's worked:)

Wow I've missed a lot, morning!

Was baking pretty much all last night, mine pies and cheesecakes for the weekend

Also went to the gym, where saw my PT, who cancelled last minute a week ago and hasn't been in touch since so made a bold move and chose a new one there and then! T'was awful like I'd been dumped :(

pink glad you're getting such good care, and Mr Pink well done on the excellent swimmers! I know someone who is waiting to have his checked and v.nervous

((( inbetweener ))) it may just be weird dates from WTF cycle, 10 day wait is awful. They gave me 10 day wait but shortened it to 7 when I pleaded may be worth a shot

SWI performance? Hmmm....DH just pleased he's getting loads at the mo as it took me a while to get back in the mood after MC etc

do you just take post-OV?

Happy Friday everyone

All over for me for another month then
no surprise AF not yet arrived but look at this.

my chart thismorning

Roll on AF hurry up!

Gonna SWI earlier this month, scattergun approach and get some pre-seed in!

pink golly i bet mr pink is insufferable!
I get it all the time, "nowt wrong with my swimmers, got a whole in one twice"

A&R you really do make me laugh so much

Crossed posts dachs, happy birthday xxx

Thanks nicks

Sorry all you people having a bad time at the moment. Let's hire a nice big house in the country for Christmas and all sit around together downing cocktails in from of the fire and guzzling home made mince pies and moaning about the general unfairness of it all. I'm good at decorating Christmas trees and I have a home mad pudding to contribute. (Usually I have a cake too but I usually make it some time between Jan and March and I didn't get round to tit he this year because I was too busy at work, so sorry about that.)

dachs happy birthday!

The house in the country sounds fab, count me in

nicks you are a lady of extremes - I can't believe how dramatic your temp dips/rises are!! However AF is not here yet, and there's always the chance that today's was a random temp? Will keep my fx that it shoots back up tomorrow or - worst case scenario - the old bitch at least has the good grace to hurry up rather than keep you guessing x

ladybee fx your deliveries arrive soon - that's do frustrating!!!

Cough cough, ahem, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Dach's, Happy Birthday to you!! (hee hee, I know it's on the other thread but you can never have enough Birthday wishes!!

nix ha ha ha at your waking up in a hot sweat...did you dream about me last night too sweetie?? Also, Pissed myself laughing at your conversation with DH...very bloody funny, you crack me up!

Orange happy SWI now your back on it

Emoo it can take up to a couple of weeks for the BFP to show up, that wait is horrible and oddly a relief when you see that BFP...guess you know at that point your released from the physical misery!

Go MrPink, big whoop for your super swimmers!! ha ha! Pink Glad all went well. I'm on for choc covered Brazil nuts...like your style how many we supposed to much a day though???

LadyB advice please Mrs... I was thinking or getting me some Vit B12 but noticed you ordered VitB complex... do you think I should do the same/are there added fertility benefits from VitBcomplex or were you also having a little pick me up in one as well?

Hope you all have a good day xx

PS Anyone wanna PA job, I got a F/T contract and am in middle of buying my business and my brain is frazzled, ha, now I just need to get knocked up and that'll add to the carnage and why the hell not, I don't sleep anyway!!!

Waves to the lovely Izzy hope you are all relaxed after yoga sweets

izz dont think so toots, def AF on its way, im fine though about it, liking the control that temping gives you. One of the ladies on charters anon just went triphaisic and her chart looks like the ones in the book!! BFP (bit worried about the madness of the temps jumps......does it mean i am imbalanced more than normal?) last night was very broken sleep though, bless DS.

mamap we are here to amuse! Oooh exciting times ahead for you then lovely - did you find a biz then? Do fill us in. Just umming and aaahing about whether DH should go to the bank with a business plan to start up but i am a bit shakey about it!(needs to be done though :) )

Re the hot sweats, just for you baby, yeah nothing to do with the furry dressing gown, 15 tog quilt and heating on did i dream about mamap last night too? Urm...sadly not! Didnt have enough sleep to dream

Re BVITS - for anyone ordering solgar/lamberts/BVITS etc etc etc supplements/fish oil etc i have a telephone hotline with an account number that gives me i think 25% discount i can share with you if you want to? Will find out how much they are and if anyone wants it PM Me. Could save you money

mamap i was told BVit complex by nutritionist its to do with cell division etc as well as other things, couldnt tell you about B12 on its own. will google

mamap

bvits info

this i found particularly useful

supplements info

based on the marilyn glenville link (supplements) i give selenium ACE so DH gets the right mix of them all (although he throws them away when i dont force feed! ARSE)

Right off to order more, have run out!

Bugger... it won't let me post...

...more than a few words at a time... HELP!

Ah nicks let's hope she just hurries up then and at least gives you a decent length cycle...

Interesting link you posted - although clearly I'm not going to stop ttc for 4 months while I prepare my body - the madness!!!!

emoo I didn't get on with the "mobile-friendly" version, have managed to get my iPhone to go back to the normal version and it's much easier!!!

Me either re 4 months izz do it as we go along!! Lets face it, i have resolved that its gonna take a while anyhoo! 30 days of supplements now for us both i think!!

anyone snowed in?

Afternoon everyone..! I have now turned the confuser off and on again in the hope that it works

It's not even the mobile version and I am getting annoyed now!

Well, I didn't get my nookie last night... fell fast asleep at 10 pm before DH got to bed and regained consciousness only at 8.15, so had a hair-raising start to the day trying to find some knickers and a woolly had in order to get Emoochick to school on time. (Please note - I DID wear other stuff as well as the knickers and woolly hat!! )

inbetweener - keeping fingers crossed for you.

PinkFF - I feel relatively normal physically. Am too stingy to buy digital tests just yet - although I'll think about it if I don't test neg in week or so. I think my need for some bedroom action is simply that, not expecting to conceive just yet if my body still thinks it's pg... it feels a long time since DH and I were last intimate, what with first feeling sick, then bleeding, and worrying.. finally I am physically ready. Kat - thanks for the reassurance. I managed to leave EPAU without a single leaflet of advice. Ladybee - yep, if the last few days are anything to go by, I'll be blubbing away insanely, but I guess it's part of the healing process???

Hi -
mamap I decided on a B-complex because

1. We need to take Folic acid, and it was included.
2. I've had issues with B12 deficiency in the past. I take Metformin and there are some studies that show it can be linked with reduced absorption. Most (non-vegetarian) people easily get enough b12 through the diet and your body stores it so normally it's not a problem but if you stop absorbing it for any reason and then run down your stores it can have a lot of knock-on effects.
3. I read that B6 supplementation can help with lenthening a luteal phase and although mine is not under 10 days, it is usually only 10-11 days so I'm hoping to increase that a little.
4. I don't like taking lots of things so thought a one-stop would be fine and I know I'll just pee away anything not needed (and I am...pee looks radioactive, is very impressive). This does make me feel like I'm peeing the money away but at least I know I'm covering the three things that I think are important.

Happy Birthday Dachs - my birthday is Sunday but I'm celebrating it tomorrow with friends over for lunch.

PinkFF - glad your clinic appt went well, and that the Dr was lovely. Particularly pleased to see there is no need to cut out any of the major food groups (chocolate, doughnuts, brownies...). LOL at DH and his smugness.

A&R - thanks, will update mini-list of BFNs in a few days in case anyone else also able to contribute.

Nix - your posts always make me laugh! Can I just say, FF clearly is talking out of its arse, and has no concept of quality vs quantity! Thanks for the pep talk . FWIW, I agree with you and Caribou about timings - both of our successful conceptions were peak-day one-offs. That's a spectacular drop on your chart btw, but hopefully WRONG. It was awfully cold this morning! My temp in the non-pillow ear was a full degree C lower than the pillow ear, so I've no idea which to use and have taken the mean.

Izzy, MummyE, Nix -

MamaP - glad you are feeling better. I've heard about the grapefruit, but please enlighten on nuts/pineapples??

Dachs - Happy Birthday!!

Emoo had very odd image of you sticking long thermometer out of ears. Then realised you were probably talking about one of these

They've arrived! They've arrived!

In fact, everything's arrived! all at once!

Supplements came in very discreet packaging all the way from Arizona. I thought I was ordering from a UK site but hey.

Groceries have arrived for lunch - think I may have under ordered on meat, so will set DH on a mission before he comes home from work.

and best of all...a case of wine! hoorah!
